What do you like the most about winter? I bet it’s not the flu. Learn how to use medicinal herbs to boost immunity. Winter demands special care of ourselves both internally and externally. And so does our health. And the risk has increased after the start of the pandemic. So, we should be extra careful in this season. Otherwise, the cold winds and changing weather will overtake our health.

When nature brings the challenge, it presents the solution as well. Today we will learn about five such solutions by nature. These herbs will keep you happy and healthy throughout the winter. So, you will be able to enjoy the season without any fear. We will also find the answer to the question: is kratom legal in Florida? Let us get started.

Indian gooseberry (amla)

It is also known as amla. It is the richest source of Vitamin C, A, E, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. That means it can boost immunity. Not only this, but it is incredible for skin as well.

One can directly consume it as a fruit or dry them naturally for future usage. The dried amla is powdered and used in mixed herb tea. There are hundreds of recipes to administer this herb in your diet.

You can also grow gooseberry plants in your garden. It is not a high-maintenance plant.

It is beneficial for youngsters, old and adults. But, a person who has undergone surgery should avoid it. Learn how to develop an amla plant.

Benefits of amla include:

  • Boosts immunity
  • Fights deficiency of Vitamin C
  • Promotes healthy hair growth
  • Carves healthy skin
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Give rise to stringer blood vessels
  • Improves vision
  • Improves heart health

Licorice root (mulethi)

It is a legume belonging to a bean plant. It is a native of North Africa, western Asia, and Southern Europe. It is rich in glycyrrhizin acid, also called the licorice component.

Liquorice or liquorice has medicinal properties. The highly preferred part of this plant is its roots. Earlier, people used it as a flavoring agent. Even now, several candies come from mulethi. You can find licorice sticks and powder in the market. Mulethi is a powerful herb. Though it offers several benefits, you should monitor its consumption as the administration of glycyrrhizin acid can cause adverse effects.

Benefits of mulethi include:

  • Fights respiratory disease such as asthma
  • Improves digestion
  • Helps fighting pathogens 
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Lowers cholesterol level
  • Treats skin ailments

Indian Ginseng 

There are several names for this plant. In India, it is called ashwagandha. In parts of Africa, it is called winter cherry. It is an annual evergreen plant primarily cultivated in India, the Middle East, and South Africa that goes by the scientific name Withania somnifera. This herb is the fundamental ingredient of Ayurvedic medicines.

The formulators make use of the fruits and roots of ashwagandha. This herb was in use for more than a hundred years in India. We find its use as a Rasayana. It means something which maintains physical and mental health. Though, studies are required to prove its effectiveness.

Benefits of Indian ginseng include:

  • Improves the quality of sleep
  • Releases stress
  • Relieves from the body and joint pain
  • Increases white blood cell count
  • Treats thyroid malfunctioning
  • Supports good respiratory function
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves erectile dysfunction

Kratom

Kratom’s scientific name is Mitragyna speciosa. It is a tropical green plant cultivated in South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar. It belongs to the coffee family. It has been in Africa since the nineteenth century. People used it to treat pain, ingestion, and stress. They are used as a sedative too. Modern-day sciences see it as an opioid. Hence, several institutions have banned its usage. Studies are continuously taking place to establish its effectiveness.

There are several strains of kratom in the market, such as:

  • White vein kratom
  • Green vein kratom
  • Red vein kratom
  • Yellow vein kratom

The color of the leaf vein changes as the herb matures. And with maturity, the deposition of nutrients and their sedative action increases.

Benefits of kratom include:

  • Relieves cough and cold
  • Releases stress
  • Improves sleep and treats related disorders
  • Fights depression and anxiety
  • Lowers blood sugar level
  • Acts as an analgesic
  • Soothes diarrhea
  • Lower blood pressure level

Is kratom legal in Florida?

Kratom is a prevalent herb. But due to the dearth of studies, its legalization faces issues in parts of the world. Kratom is legal in most of Florida. But, the FDA has not allowed it for therapeutic purposes. Most Government Health agencies view this herb as a drug. Recently the FDA has released warnings about the usage of kratom, however, recent studies have disputed FDA claims.

Basil 

Basil, tulsi or the great basil, is the most potent herb. The essence of tulsi has several medicinal purposes. Basil is also sacred in India. People worship it due to its immense health benefits. Tulsi can be grown quickly. It can be eaten raw, added to tea, or used in cuisine.

Yes, you heard it. Basil’s great taste has made it an essential ingredient in several cousins. There are several hybrids of basil, such as sweet basil, lemon basil, and Thai basil. One can use any part of this plant. You can also use its steam to treat throat and nose infections.

Benefits of basil include:

  • Acts as a natural immunity booster
  • Fights cough and congestion
  • Improves digestion
  • Helps withstand diseases
  • It prevents fat from building up
  • Clears clogged nose
  • Treats throat infection
  • Beneficial in case of kidney stones
  • Great for diabetic patients

Final words

Risk has increased after the arrival of covid-19 viruses and the pandemic’s start. Now it is essential to protect ourselves. Medicines and vaccines are there. But, one cannot depend upon them daily. We also need to boost our immunity. In such a situation, these five herbs can come handy. You can administer them in your pure herbal diet once or twice a week. It will keep you and your family healthy.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.

At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy... At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy...
This is a huge victory, especially for POC in Nevada who were unfairly targeted by police and arrested due to this legal loophole despite legalization of this plant.
The ACLU sued the Nevada Pharmacy Board & won the case. An additional judgement on whether or not the board should regulate the plant at all any more is coming in future weeks.
Still waiting for @Potus to legalize on the Federal level. What are we waiting for?
